<p>I realized this about a week ago and have not been able to see her because she is always busy and completely unorganized.</p>
<p>Are my chances ruined now for the privates I applied to? They were Westmont, Loyola, and La Verne. </p>
<p>I submitted my Common App on time and all of that. Westmont and ULV both were rolling admissions.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t assume that. Call each school yourself and ask if what you can do to get the documents to them – and if it’s still not too late (likely not). Then if your counselor can’t do it after more requests, go to her supervisor – or have your parents do that.</p>
<p>I agree with T26E4 all around.</p>
<p>I want to emphasize a very important point, though. If your guidance counselor is too busy to deal with a college issue for a second-semester senior for an entire week, then there’s something very, very wrong. Perhaps it is that your counselor is doing a bad job; if so, you or your parents need to go to her supervisor with this problem. Perhaps she has more work than one person can possibly do; if so, that’s a management issue higher up the institutional ladder, and you probably need your parents’ help to pitch a fit that gets your needs met. Or perhaps you took “no” for an answer too easily. Did you try to see her every day? Did you make it known that this was a time-sensitive matter about your college applications? Did you try to tell her what the problem was even without seeing her–by email, or by putting a note in her box at school?</p>
<p>My counselors knew, without my explicit request, to send midyear reports to the schools I applied to since it’s a fairly standard procedure. This may be the case for you? Either way, get in touch with counseling as soon as possible.</p>
